Description of πŸ”Œ Scotchlok Electrical Connector 18 16AWG by 3M

High performing polypropylene insulation ensures there are no shorts, making it ideal for complex circuits when used for parallel splicing or a tap wire. Blue connectors let you organize installations and correctly identify wire sizes. Makes it simple to connect a tap wire to a run (through) wire electrically via a self-sealing and self stripping design. Its design lets you use it with 18 to 16 AWG solid or stranded wire for taps or 14 AWG stranded for runs. Easy conductivity is assured thanks to the brass element construction, and it's plated with tin for powerful corrosion resistance.

Good product. You won't be disappointed!

I bought these to help install a remote start system in my car. They were very comfortable and I couldn't imagine working without them. What I really like is that you can connect two wires very quickly and efficiently without damaging either wire i.e. if you connected the wrong wires. Together you can just take them off and not have to deal with a big mess like stripping, splicing and soldering the wires together. In my case, using these connectors saved me from having to splice and solder…

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Out of fashion

Practical splicers

They are very easy to use. I connected a car accessory and had to cut into the existing car wiring. There was very little room to work and I could barely see the connection point. With wire nuts this would have been a monumental job, especially since there was almost no slack in the wires. I bought red and blue. The blue ones are approved for 110 volts, the red ones are not. I wasn't sure if the red ones would fit my car's auto wiring, but it turned out they would fit both of the units I…

Excellent connector for specific applications.

These are perfect for tapping into 16ga/landscape cable or most other types of traditional cabling up to 14ga. They allow you to connect to a cable run without cutting or splicing existing cables. No soldering, tape or shrink tubing, just a quick, clean connection. The specs say they accept 14 ga. stranded, but 16 gauge. The landscape wire was the largest double zip cord I could fit in them. Your results may vary depending on the thickness of the insulation. The bottom line is that the maximum…

Pros
  • Ideal for me
Cons
  • No instructions
